<p><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:navy'>Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas time! My
laptop has been having problems off and on for a few months and about a week
before Christmas, it shut down on me and it took about 4 hours before I could
get it back to a normal screen. Since then, I have been on minimally as I
think it is the hard drive…you can hear it whirling. But I
got a new computer the other day, and am slowly shifting email and files to it
from the laptop. I am going to try to replace the HD in it once I get
everything I want off it, so I will still be able to have a back up. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:navy'>Anyhow, Colt and Rugers mom and dad, Michelle and Todd
stopped by to visit the Bounders a while back and I did not post about it, due
to being busy and frustrated with the laptop. It was so wonderful to meet
them both!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<p><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:navy'>Lucas, our Basset mix, just fell in love with Michelle and
did not leave her lap too often, and Val fell right over in love with Todd and
wished he was still here rubbing her belly! We talked about all our
babies and their antics and before you know it, they had to leave,
way too short of time! But they did leave some Barbeque Squirrels
and chicken jerky! The kids have long finished off those
delicious treats, and want Michelle and Todd to know they are welcome anytime….with
or without treats! Extra hands to be loved with are always welcome here.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
